The Socket CompactFlash Scan Card (CFSC) Series 5
gives you the freedom of scanning bar codes anytime
anywhere with a variety of Windows-based mobile
computers. The card’s compact design lets you scan with
only one hand when used with a PDA.
The CFSC is sleekly designed with no cables or batteries
and is available in three configurations:
• CFSC 5E – Entry Level, CMOS
• CFSC 5M – Mid-Range, Class 1 Laser
• CFSC 5P – Performance, Class 2 Laser
See Appendix C for a detailed comparison of the two
laser classes.
The CFSC Series 5 works in the CompactFlash or PC Card slot of:
• Pocket PC 2000/2002/2003/2003SE
• HPC 2000 or pen tablet running Windows CE v3.0 or greater
• Notebook computer running Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 or XP.
About the Software
SocketScan™ enters scanned data directly into any open
Windows program, as if the data were manually typed. You
can configure Prefix/Suffixes and assign a .WAV file to
signify good data reads.
For Windows Mobile, SocketScan also includes a
Symbology Selector and Scan Demo. The Symbology
Selector makes it easy to choose the symbologies you want
to enable/disable in the scanner. Scan Demo helps you
identify the properties of an unfamiliar bar code.
For Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP, SocketScan makes it easy
to assign a function key to trigger the scanner.
For Windows Mobile, also included is SocketScan Trigger,
which places a software trigger on your screen that you can
tap to trigger the laser. Installation is optional.
